It was announced in October 2006 that Phantom would re-open in Melbourne the following year and that Warlow had agreed to reprise his role as "The Phantom" ^[1].

Phantom re-opened in Melbourne at the Princess Theatre, its original home, on Thursday July 19 2007. Alongside Warlow, Australia's Ana Marina and John Bowles were cast as Christine Daae and Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny. Although he performed for the industry opening night, Warlow was struck down by a bout of influenza that had also claimed many of the other cast and crew and he missed the first two and a half weeks of the show's Melbourne season. Understudy Simon Pryce performed in his place ^[2] until Warlow made a triumphant return on the 9th of August ^[3].

Unlike the original Australian Phantom, Warlow will play the Phantom for the two-year tour of Australia and New Zealand. The Phantom of the Opera opened at Brisbane's Lyric Theatre in February 2008 and is scheduled to open in Sydney's Lyric Theatre in May 2008.
